"Brees got all the $, so none left for offensive lineman".... True or False?

Go...
Also, why did we not franchise tag Bushrod? (A lot of people say its because we used it on Brees, but Brees signed his big deal in July 2012 and Bushrod didnt sign with Bears until March 2013 so how is that possible). TIA

False, there were many other players under contract that weren't worth the shite they were paid way more so than Drew's contract.
Smith
Roman
Grubbs
Vilma
Bunkley
Jahri didn't have a great year
Hawthorne prolly isn't worth his deal
Moore
prolly some more out there.

Brees is getting paid market value. As Chad posted, plenty of guys are making wayyyyy more than similar players at their position.

IMO, Bushrod wasn't worth the money we'd have to pay him with the tag. Was he better than Charles Brown or Armstead? Absolutely. But not worth what the tag would've cost.

Smith, Harper, and Vilma are all going to get cut after the season, so that should help

Partially true/false. We still have the cap room to sign good players and pay our rookies. Problem is it basically leaves no margin for error. If you miss on other contracts, you are screwed. You also have to draft really well. Our D is good because we have drafted well and signed solid FA's. We have done poorly on the O side and it is catching up. Once Graham gets on his new contract, we will even be in a more can't miss situation.
Having a great QB comes with a cost. As well as Loomis has done, he will have to do even better we have any chance of winning another SB.

No doubt in my mind that Brees wil part with $$ to sign Grahem or an OL. It never happens the same year they sign the contract. Brees' future success is diectly dependent on OL pass and rush UPGRADE along with younger WR's that can spread the field (along with Graham).

True
1. His holdout cost us Nicks, though Loomis is in large to blame
2. His contract made it so we couldn't overpay a little for OUR STARTING LT...bushrod. We see the difference. Unlike Will Smith, Roman Harper and a number of other horrible contracts Loomis has made, Bushrod was a guy worth overpaying for, or at least keep Nicks
3. Unless Drew lowers his cap figure for the few remaining years he has left, this team isn't a contender
This is all before we get to Sean Payton's horseshite playcalling. If he has a stud line, a very good set of receivers and a great quarterback...he's a genius...take one of those elements away and he's the guy that Jim Fassel stripped of his playcalling duties. Great coach, but entirely overrated...can't believe he makes more than Bill Belichick.

False. Bree's is making what he should be. It's a bunch of the other bums that aren't even good enough to be on the practice squad that ate up all the $$$

for your question False.
in regards to your posting sucking like a Hoover Vacuum here and on the SEC Rant - True.

I would say True and False. True in that he ate up money we could have given offensive linemen. False in that if we cut his take, Moore should receive Saintsation pay
